I learned a lot on my own and with the help of a mentor. Eventually on to college and a career in electronics.<br />Those old radios generally sound much better than anything modern, and the valve sets have wonderful front ends that transistors (as designed into radios) cannot touch.<br /><br />Good to see the chap keeping up a great tradition.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.com
